Valerie Goodloe, the woman who made Johnson Publishing Company history as its first in-house photographer for both EBONY and JET magazines. We covered countless stories together throughout the years, including Michael Jackson's memorial.

Not only is Raymond A. Thomas a St. Louis native like myself, but he was my former EBONY/JET colleague who was the publishing company's internationally recognized, award-winning art director.
And this is love!

Chicagoans showed up and showed out for the book talk and signing of It's No Wonder: The Life and Times of Motown's Legendary Songwriter Sylvia Moy, a historical corrective about Hitsville U.S.A.'s first certified female songwriter and producer. 

The lively and inspirational event, which sold out of books, took place at Da Book Joint at Pen & Paper on February 14 from noon to 2 p.m. 

​Dr. Christian was in conversation with Katara Washington Patton, a celebrated author and executive editor of Our Daily Bread who was also her former JET magazine colleague. In addition to some of Dr. Christian's former EBONY and JET colleagues, a few of her students from the University of Illinois Chicago were in attendance. 

It's No Wonder is available to order everywhere books are sold.
